Taking Eve

Hoping for a more peaceful time after learning the tragic truth about her child's disappearance years earlier, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan is entreated by desperate father Jim Doane to learn the truth about his missing son.

Was glad to see other people stating that after 12 books which I really enjoyed, the Eve thing has gotten really old. Jane and Quinn, really, get over it! Johansen was my favorite author. Not so much now. I hope future books are more like others that I have read and enjoyed.

There's a lot going on in this book, I almost postponed reading it. I just had to put down an animal and Jane's "Toby" isn't doing well. But Eve get's kidnapped, Jane get's shot, Eve's father is introduced???, and two more titles are introduced that might be an ending for Eve Duncan??? Hunting Eve, Silencing Eve coming later in 2013.

I am reading this now and I am thinking that Iris Hohansen is bored with Eve. Ha ha.

I was so excited to see a new Eve Duncan trilogy. There is nothing new about it. I read half of Taking Eve. No need to read any further. I think with Ms. Johansen would have ended her Eve series with the last trilogy of Eve, Quinn and Bonnie. I like her stories but would like a new story with new characters. This book was stale.

I've been reading the "Eve" series from the beginning, but recently with degrading appreciation. First the supernatural aspects started to expand(Bonnie was OK) and now the series has turned into a soap opera( must watch/read the next episode to find out what happens,etc.,etc.) Sorry, I don't watch and I don't read soap operas. Looks like the last one for me.Maybe something will come from her Catherine Ling series.
p.s. Check out her triple book jacket art @ www.fantasticfiction.co.uk. If not unique, certainly unusual.
